The Link Between Leaky Ducts and Uneven Room Temperatures
How Leaky Ducts Cause Uneven Temperatures
-
Air Loss in the Duct System
-
The Problem: Your ductwork is responsible for distributing conditioned air throughout your home. When there are leaks, a significant amount of air escapes before it reaches the intended rooms.
-
The Result: Rooms farther from the HVAC system often receive insufficient airflow, causing them to feel too warm in the summer or too cold in the winter.
Pressure Imbalances
-
The Problem: Leaky ducts disrupt the balance of air pressure in your HVAC system.
-
The Result: Some areas of your home may experience stronger airflow, while others get little to none, leading to inconsistent temperatures.
Unconditioned Air Entering the System
-
The Problem: Gaps and cracks in your ducts can allow unfiltered, unconditioned air from attics, basements, or crawl spaces to enter the ductwork.
-
The Result: This reduces the efficiency of your system, making it harder to maintain consistent temperatures.
Signs of Leaky Ductwork
If you’re experiencing uneven temperatures, watch for these additional signs of duct leaks:
-
Higher Energy Bills: Your HVAC system works overtime to compensate for air loss, increasing your energy costs.
-
Visible Damage: Cracks, gaps, or loose connections in your ductwork.
-
Dust and Poor Air Quality: Leaks can pull in dust and pollutants, spreading them throughout your home.
